Dear Heather,
You can start your search with these two web sites.  The first baby was born in 1979 if I remember correctly, in England, as the result of research and work by Drs. Edwards and Steptoe.  Edwards is still alive but his partner passed away several years ago.  The second baby was born in 1981, in Norfolk, Virginia, USA, under the direction of Drs. Howard and Georgianna Jones who studied with Edwards and Steptoe when they were close to have their first success.  I am writing this from memory so make sure you do your homework and search the web for all the exact information like birth date, weight, and so on.
